KIONNA DUNIGAN

Christmas time in the city! We went ice skating here around 7p on Sunday. It was a bit crowded but still thoroughly enjoyed being able to do something I don't often get to do in my town. Event was reasonably priced with skates included in your admission. The area has lots of Christmas decorations surrounding it making the night that much more magical.

Judy Harvey

Attended the 2022 Rock 'n Ribs Festival sponsored by KBER, perfect autumn afternoon, everyone was enjoying the cooler weather; lots of tasty BBQ from local trucks, rocked out to my favorite local band! It's a great venue in the heart of the city with a light rail station right at the west entrance. And best of all, clean restrooms!

Tess Obenauf

Closing at midnight, we made it right at 11:00 pm as the zamboni parked right after smoothing the ice. The rink was packed with skaters of all levels! Decked in holiday decor, with music filling the air, people smiling, laughing, concentrating on their own way around the ice, and groups of friends, with their loved ones, or on their own - you can't beat the atmosphere! The ice, on the other hand, is very rough and bumpy and needs a good smoothing. Try early in the day unless you are determined to go for the lights and atmosphere. Prioritise which is most important! There are concessions available so you can warm up with a hot cocoa. Skate rentals are great! Not the worn fittings you get from most public rinks.

Van Zitto

Nice place to spend good times with friends and family Iod, Activities and Music on the summer, Ice Skate Ring and Concerts on the Winter. Love it!... A Classic spot on Downtown Salt Lake

Matthew

************* Looks like a cute place to go walk around and take some of that Christmas cheer in. They do have an outside ice skating rink also. The only trick is probably the parking. I parked in the parking garage but that can get pricey unless you get enough validations... Not sure what the alternative looks like...

Amner Ardon

Great fun place for family outing . Dates . Ice skating during holidays . Especially at night . Love the lights . Great pics taking

Tamilisa Miner

Fun venue for community concerts and ice skating! The concerts are sometimes held inside and sometimes held outside, all from the versatile stage with a removable window! Smart. They hold the Excellence in the Community Concerts here!

Reed Brown

We attended the Busker Fest today and the 2 performances were very good.

Soledad Ch

I love this place in the winter ❄️ the light they installed looks amazing!!! Best place to come on winter

Ravi T

Took family over for ice skating. Quite a busy place. You get nice decorations all around, well maintained ice rink, a lot of demand. So go there early by 6 pm. Might take about 30 min to get in front of the line and longer the later you go. Figure skating shoes for ladies and hockey skates for gents by default. You can ask for a different pair but depends on availability. It is a small area so may feel claustrophobic if a crowd is not your thing. Parked at One Utah Center Parking which is free until New Year. The rink is just above the parking lot.

Wendy N

We came here to ice skate. The hours listed online were wrong, but at least we beat the crowds. It's a VERY small rink and apparently no limit to the number of skaters, so VERY overcrowded. I was disappointed that they charged the same amount whether you brought your own skates or not. The rental skates' blades were pretty dull. The outdoor heaters were never turned on, so it got pretty cold. The lights and music made for a nice outdoor skating ambiance though. It all just seemed a little understaffed/unregulated.

David Bohling

Great place to Ice Skate! Well maintained and reasonable price for a fun afternoon, or an awesome evening. In the middle of downtown SLC, so lots of places to eat or drink.

Candy Elzey

Fun for all ages and great Christmas lights.

Jeff Teters

Not too shabby of a place to hold a few concerts. Way better than being held at Pioneer park since it became the place to be for homeless people and crime. And it had good sound acoustics as well. I would definitely attend another concert here again soon. I hope they have more concerts like that before summer is over. Got a few cool pictures to go along with it as well. Might have to upload them as well. There were so many people here that I only ran into a few friends, but I'm ok with that. They might try to get more bathrooms because that line reached a quarter mile at one point. Other than that, cool place.

Ryan Roberts

Awesome venue! A small outdoor oasis, surrounded by high rises. Lots of parking close by, space to walk around, and they usually bring food trucks and vendors into the arena for shows proving better prices for food and drinks. I've seen a few concerts here, I've always had a good time.

Victor Schmidt II

My Family loves Ice Skating here. Outdoor rink and always a good time. Don't forget to wear tall socks

Josh D

Great place to ice skate. Not to small but it can get busy and packed. Kids loved it.

lanny outcalt

A place to collect myself and leave the heavy...So much amazing, tantalizing artwork! Everytime I visit, some new event is taking place where there's some new art piece to look at. I love this place!

Whitney Brown

Lovely outside space, used all year round for community seasonal activities. This trip I saw a lot of Christmas/holiday decorations and an ice rink, but have seen it used for outdoor events in summer such as musical concerts etc.

JennyJeans

I was catching the trax 🚉 downtown SLC and heard 👂 fun early 1900's 🕴💃swing music coming from the Gallivan Center. It was a 'family concert event type gathering' for the celebrations for the week of the 'Days of 47', I believe, but it was fun to walk through and witness and see, all the while jus' waiting for the train. 😌😁😄 …

Maeve Barnum

Fun place to go ice skating and go to concerts, parking is tricky try the underground at city creek and get a validation from a restaurant or shop

Terry Wallace

Nice place to visit and eat as well, take photos of artistic urban design.

Tom Kelly

Great open space in the midst of downtown.

Mossiah Day

Gallinas Center is about expressing yourself. Some occasions you just have to experience how you feel outside. 💯🙌🏽❤️ …

Kylan Eldredge

Super awesome date place to go to while the ice skating ring is up, rings a little small but all around a load of fun for me and my girl!

Jayson Jones

Hands down the best venue I have ever seen a concert at! No matter where you're sitting the sound is great and parking was just south of the venue and easy to get in and out of.

Jason Nash

This downtown Salt Lake City venue was easily accessible with surprisingly convenient parking ($5). Also, with the weather unexpectedly stormy, it turned out to be a smart choice for a reception. Indoors, but with glass walls and great views, the afternoon-to-evening segue was beautiful. Elegant spot for an event. Regretted not having time for what looked like a great ice cream spot nearby, though. : )

Justin Hutchison

An event at the gallivan center is unlike anything u have experienced if u have never been to one. The energy of being downtown coupled with the energy of the music or whatever is going on doubles the intensity. I enjoyed everything about this event and I have social anxiety bad. So if there is something going on down there, go to it. I promise you will have the time of ur life.

Cameron Nielsen

Awesome venue for both ice skating and concerts! Any event here is bound to be a great one! Brought my younger siblings and their spouses ice skating, great time all around!

Karen Lewis

Beautiful, and it felt like a very fun place and a safe place for families to enjoy

ScooterBoi

Great place for events, good amount of room and balconies on all 4 sides for events. Parking Garage as well right underneath the place.

Blake Robison

This is a great venue. The main stage is fair in size and boasts some great speakers. The main stage is also outdoors, with a large pavilion and grassy area. There's lots of walking space nearby with vendors, bathrooms, a water fountain, etc. It's in downtown surrounded by huge skyscrapers. One of the problems with this place is that they have to cut off the music at a certain time, I think maybe 11 pm--probably due to city noise restrictions. So I saw Diplo and he got cut off during his finale song.

Sam

Perfect place for free concerts and events. We like to walk around there during the weekend. We watched the women's soccer world cup final a few years ago on their big screen, and it was terrific. The place has great Christmas lights and there is ice skating there during the winter.

Jackeline E. Albarracin

I have visited this place for Christmas it is so beautiful. Full of lights, a lot of people, families. There is an ice rink place the price is $20 for the rent of the equipment, don’t forget to take your gloves.

Misty Morris

An extremely fun family activity tucked in among shiny buildings. We had the best weather. Sunny and not too cold. I haven’t skated since I was a kid so definitely brings back memories. I appreciate that the other guests were patient and nice. We topped it off with a nice hot cocoa. 🥤❤️

Paul M

Great place for events and concerts, I’ve also attended some receptions here and during the summer it’s lovely. We do bring the kids ice skating in the winter as well

Jill Reys

It was SO FUN!!! Even if I didn’t get to skate because I had to take care of our baby, I still had so much fun! Close to the ice skating rink, there was an area of snow where my baby experienced snow for the first time! 😍😂 …

Tony “Tbony” Hartey

We came late in the evening and everything was closed but it was neat seeing the lights and trees still up. We'll come back during the day time to see what this place has to offer.

Ana & Karl Lies

Another great FREE concert at the Galivan center. Put on by Excellence In The Community. These shows are such a blast! Look them up online.

Rhya Bleser

It’s beautifully decorated outside with outdoor art to look through. Beautiful distraction in the center of the city.

Christie Harris

Such a fun and magical place!!! My kids had a blast! The staff was friendly and even though there was quite a big line we were helped right away and got our skates quickly. I highly recommend going! This is a must do if you’re in Salt Lake City!

Tod Bowen

Cool spot to hang out in downtown Salt Lake City.

Sherrie Merrell

This is the prettiest ice rink I’ve been to in the Salt Lake Valley. It had a fun atmosphere and good pricing. The only down side is having to pay to park, put that’s just how it is downtown. And it was quite crowded, but we still had a great time. We would definitely go there again!

Wade Brinton

Awesome little plaza in the middle of downtown. Great place to grab lunch (Pretty Bird, Robins Nest, or Pulp) and eat outside. The events done here are always well prepared. Make sure to check out the huge sun dial.

Rees W Bandley

Ice skating and live performance, what could be better?! Home of the Blues Festival and many other annual and one off events! Always a great time!

Nicholas Cheshire

Ice skating was awesome. Plus all the Christmas light. I highly recommend.

Pamela Colon

The Ramen at Kaze was delicious and they had a selection of Japanese beers and whiskeys. There was indoor and outdoor seating and a large mural on the accent wall. They have great service and good food. I would go back.

Katy Holton

Aww such a fun time tonight. Easy to get started with skates, tickets and a locker. Sweet team that works there. The rink is a great size and it was warm with the heat lamps. Loved it!!

Dwaine Still

Very nice and the lights were beautiful food was great it was a very nice night out.

Keith B

The Urban Arts festival was actually really cool. This venue worked really well for it as the staged is perfectly centered for the artists to perform and surrounding artists and activities to not stay to far from being right in the action. Live graffiti, great food trucks, and really cool booths with artists like Dallin B! Really enjoyed myself.

Jean Robinson

This is a very pretty holiday spot with wonderful artwork all lit up it spectacular colors.

Nate Kobs

So fun. Summer concerts. Winter ice skating. Heart of downtown. Amazing bars and restaurants just west.

Bob Brown

We saw DJ Snoopadelic aka Snoop Dogg on Sept. 6, 2018, such a great place for live music, people watching, and to enjoy being outside, in the heart of Downtown, SLC. You can find multiple Bars, restaurants and shopping within blocks of the Gallivan. Accessible by Trax form the Gallivan Station stop on Main St and 250 S.

Omir Francisco Lorente Carrasco

This shopping center is really fun, specially 'cause is located in the heart of Salt Lake City downtown. You'll find lot of stores. In the night the place turns very special and quite, gold lights shining around and all looks amazing.

Ash Thompson

Wonderful experience. Safe and beautiful location downtown.

Naomi Kroeger

Was such a pretty Ice Skating Experience! The lights are so pretty music was good and fun.

Robert Engelbrecht

Fun concert's with good food and everyone is always happy here

Quinn Wheeler

Went by the other night and people were skating and having a great time. Super fun spot for an outing.

brandon fuller

Kind of a small ice skating rink but the area around is very nice. There are big space heaters around the rink to warm up. Inside there are concessions which are very reasonably priced, $3 for a hot dog, $3 bucks for nachos etc...

Douglas Ingram

Galivan Center is a great spot for a lot of different events downtown. Indoor and outdoor facilities multiple levels and plesant grounds make this a great spot for mid-sized events.

Heidi allen

Very nice and spacious. Got lost when parking, there is a ramp that goes underground which made it really nice

Ryan Chamberlain

Music and beers just need a few chairs and your set

C - Roses

Love this ice skating rink during the winter months-- festively light and decorated with Christmas music playing while skating!

Scott Stringham

Great place to meet and have an ice skate, and in summer to rest your feet.

Jenn Nelson

Beautiful area. I love this place. The only reason for the low rating is it’s not the best venue for a big concert. Sound was awesome, but it didn’t matter where we stood, there was absolutely nowhere we went that we could see the band. I’m willing to try again, but only the vip section upstairs. Which doesn’t really feel vip being put at the back upstairs to look down on the concert. LOL.

Abby Brinkerhoff

We had our wedding here, and it was great. The staff was wonderful to work with, and the location was absolutely perfect!

Jared Jarrett

Lots of homeless activity at night while working in the area and the place seemed well controlled by local law enforcement. It looked like a nice down town facility.

Tya Bolton

Great space. Nice size and flow. We were there for a tradeshow.

Tera

Cool experience, bit really busy. Almost too many people to move around freely.

Hannington Mutenga

There is no outside concert more serene than my experience at the Gallivan Center. The stage was clearly visible. The acoustics were unbelievable. So I had to come back in Winter and watch the youth ice skate three months later in winter. With 'world class lighting and soft music so clear I had to try ice skating for the first time in my life. Located in downtown Salt Lake, the Gallivan Center is a good retreat if you enjoy the fresh air of outdoors without leaving inner city. This place is not only so calm in summer it is picture perfect for weddings and family gatherings. Ten yards away is the Marriot Hotel, two major European style train lines, eclectic pubs and live music night clubs, restaurants, and free public transportation. Tired of the City Rush? Bring your date here, sit down in the early evening shades and just enjoy a romantic conversation till ten. This downtown Salt Lake Park with 24-7 security is a must visit.

Gwen Campbell

Given how very hot it has been, I really appreciated that they provided free ice water on tap and did not sell over-priced bottles of water. Very clean, fun venue

luna mini pod cast (tifa)

Nice venue for summer events and for winter time ice skating

Nikki Wiggins

Took our kids ice skating for the first time and it was perfect! Huge rink, cheap snacks, and affordable for our family of 5. Kids already wanna go back!

Bonnie Wright Kisor

I love this place for the free, Excellence in the Community summer concert series that's held here! Amazing performances, classic dancing, so many fun memories for me. ❤️ The dance floor really is excellent, and it's so darn delightful when lots of people come out and dance! There's also lots of great seating, restrooms and drinking fountains, and great acoustics in my experience with the live music. The only downside is the parking being rather pricy - I prefer to park elsewhere and walk, but if $10 for a fun night doesn't phase you then by all means take advantage of the convenience!

Jason Card

Had a great date night here. It was nice that the resurfaced the ice once it got all rough and cut up.

Claire Davis Lewis

My husband and I went to the ice rink at the Gallivan Center and had a great time! The ice rink was really nice. We also loved the hot chocolate that they sell at the ice rink!

Erin Wilhite (Realtor)

What a cool outdoor meeting space! Jay and I enjoyed visiting with our fellow #Kiwanians in a reserved event with food trucks and bars.

Tally Koren

This area used to be so fun to walk around and enjoy, but seems that it's been taken over by homeless people and drug dealers. There was hardly anyone out on a Saturday except for people who were clearly homeless and need help. Streets smelled of urine and human waste. Trash everywhere. It's really sad to see downtown deteriorating like this and people that clearly needing help have nowhere to go. Shame on the SLC mayor for turning a blind eye!

Courtney Ryan Haacke

Great little place to skate. Always crowded but has a fun vibe, skating right down town. Not 5 stars only because the rink is small.

Shawn Thomas

It is without question a hidden gem in Downton Salt Lake City. In the winter they have the public ice skating park and in the summer it is filled with concerts. We reserve the space in the past and held a small dance performance. Such a fun place to go visit.

leroy draper

Bluegrass festival was awesome again this Year!!😎 The brews and BBQ were fantastic and the bands were Amazing!👍 Here is one pic! Pixie & The Partygrass Boys was the closing band! Love you Pixie! …

Cameron Brunt

Had an awesome time at the Gallivan center. The ice was a little choppy but it was still a great date night! Would definitely recommend.

Danielle “Danny” Case

I love this little spot!! It's a big Trax and Bus hub!! Lots of beautiful buildings to look at!! Little shops all up and down to!! Places to sit and have a drink or if you smoke!!

Ryan Brown

The staff here are always super helpful and it will be so nice to have a hotel right on the campus.

Iggnation

Amazing atmosphere this place has definitely had a face lift this needs to be utilized more for city events perfect set up and awesome space.

Asha Banthia

Cool little ice skating spot connected to Marriott City Center. Very quiet at night and clears out by 10pm.

Bella Thomas

Love this place!! The dj let me sing in the mic which was fun haha, super cute place for a date

Daryl Bennett Music

I was a DJ for a private party here. Really nice modern feel, elevator goes straight from underground parking lot, to the ballroom on the 2nd floor.

Kristy Andrew

Sons wedding at the Gallivan center hall. It was great nice big room outside balconies. Very nice. Great time

Priscila Secchi

We love ice skating there at night because of the lights! But on a Saturday it gets very crowded.

Mike Phillips

I love coming here for Food Truck Thursday! Every week a few great food trucks show up. Each week a different variety of trucks show up.

Bruce Jorgensen

The Gallivan Center it's a beautiful place. It was obviously built with intention and purpose. The configuration at the building lend itself to excellent acoustics. Both Musical and spoken word can be heard from every seat. There are no bad seats it elevate so quickly that your distance from the performance is always acceptable at least. From the first row to the highest balcony usually means the difference between good and bad seats. In the case of this structure, it's merely a different perspective of a performance. Highly recommended. Let's get the Arts rolling oh, there's some incredible Talent and pent-up energy that is there for the taking.

Christa Jarvis

The Excellences in the community concert with the John Flanders quintet was amazing!! Great Jazz and a great venue.

Mysti Lilla

So busy for skating... But pretty.

Melissa Welsh

We had an amazing event at their event center.

Tony Oseguera

Great place for concerts and ice skating in the winter time.

Mike Capps

Great venue! Tons of stores, lots to do, and there's always an event of some kind going on.

Kelcee Moore

Great community events- yoga, summer concerts, chamber events, etc. Gorgeous outdoor urban spaces

Jenney “BabyGirl” Feliciano

Never disappointed when we come here! Great family place!

Leona Finberg

We were downtown for the day while on vacation. Decided to walk around before going to eat at Spitz restaurant. We came upon this place and they happened to be having a small concert. It was very enjoyable.

LM SORENSON

A great place for family get-together, concert, art festival.

Sasha Lemos

Very nice ice ring and the price is affordable.

Beth Parker

Love the Excellence in the Community performances, beautifully decorated for Christmas

Thomas DeGroff

I like the vibe around Gallivan. The bustle. UTA has a dedicated stop there, so it's easy to access. The homeless occasionally congregate on the street, but are generally harmless.

Bruce Boyes

This was the site of the 3rd annual Utah Blues Festival. Great venue!

Frankie

Ice skating. Event centers. And so much more. A family friendly environment and just a block away from City Creek Center, Temple Square, and numerous restaurants and eateries.

Lindsay Cluff

This place is perfect for a family Christmas or Winter activity. We took our kids here over a week night and they loved the lights and music. We had fun teaching my four year old how to skate and we enjoyed the hot chocolate after. Hopefully we can make this a new family tradition. The Customer service was great and though it was busy they were very on top of everything and were able to help you quickly. Definitely a great place to have a good time.

Kurt Lesh

Amazing!! I love the outdoor venue! I love they sell liquor here because, well that's normal! Every concert we have been to here has sounded amazing and was in fact amazing! Now for the venue part- all staff are well mannered and want to help. Emergency staff is ready and takes everything as serious as they could be. I feel safe and secure here. All I wished is they would do is be more accommodating to the disabled. I am disabled and standing for long periods of time is extremely painful. Most amusement parks or attractions have handicap lines, so I guess I would ask why not this venue? Other that that it was amazing!

Wilson Hadlock

Go to Monkey Wrench for really really awesome non dairy ice cream.

Angie Poulsen

Always enjoy The Urban Art Festival held here every year in September!

Danyon Greymoon

It's a neat little park, and it's a great place to go to events. However I wouldn't really hang out here much. I always be around for when the food trucks were here, because it was cheap lunch, or I would be utilizing the parking since it's a very central location in Salt Lake City. it's just I'd never really want to hang around in the park since there's not a lot of places to sit and there are a lot of panhandlers in the area although the security does a good job in keeping them out.

Sergii Chupryna

Nice place for a date, they have ice rink and a lot of places to eat near by. Have some kind of love installation as well where all the couples take pictures

Richard Smith

Went dancing the other night with my lovely date. Got a little packed on the dance floor so we waltzed over to the grove of trees and dance the rest of the night away. It was a fun time and the music was great! Can't wait to go again. I would highly recommend this place for any date night on a Tuesday.

Greg Lundell

Spent time at the ice rink enjoying some skating. It was cold being outdoors but we came prepared for the weather. It's nice they have heaters just outside the rink to warm up with. The kids had an enjoyable time.

Marcus Peterson

I walk by here everyday for work, it puts on nice events and I enjoy ice skating here in the winter time. It also puts on free jazz concerts and swing dancing during the summer sometimes which can be a great date opportunity or just a fun time if you are nearby. This is a wonderful venue

Marco Berry

Very nice outside venue with a huge dance space! They provide live music in the summer as well. Ready access to baby restaurants and watering holes.

Carlisle 167

Fun family place to ice skate! Love the open air atmosphere!!! The lighting at night is really nice!

Brad Barlow

Pretty special being surrounded by downtown when enjoying a great rock band with 6000 fans. Sound was awesome. Event staff was professional and friendly. It poured rain while we were there and it was still perfect. Looking forward to another show here someday.

Alvin Withers

So lively and full of attractions. You need it, you can find it here

Caleb Adams

Very pretty. Quite a few people but it was still a fun experience.

Christine Fritz

We really enjoyed the ice rink, it was a little crowded at times but overall really fun.

Dakota Robbins

I always enjoy Gallivan Center. Great all-ages venue. Decent beer and food selection most events and they have a good 21+ area as well. Never been on the VIP balcony but look forward to it one day! Decent size bathrooms as well.

David Hamilton

Great concert experience! Drink lines moved, sound was excellent, and the whole venue is GA! If you want front row, GO GET YOUR FRONT ROW SEATS!

Marta Nielsen

Such a magical venue for skating! The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend.

Tanya Chapman

This is a beautiful venue. Summers are filled with song and dance; and winter brings the outdoor skating rink, Christmas lights and laughter. The only drawbacks are the lack of visibility and free parking. There is plenty of paid parking however. If you dine in the restaurant or bar at the Marriott the very gracious staff will validate parking; thus making it free.

Scott Mercier

Great accommodations, rooms with a view!

Johnathan Warren

This place is really pretty during Christmas.

Jonathan Mecham

I go ice skating here every year and it's always great. It's never overbearingly crowded and the atmosphere is awesome. It gets you in the Christmas spirit. I have also been to a couple concerts here which have been spectacular. The works were all very nice and polite.

Melissa Clements

Such a fun skating rink! Delicious hot chocolate for $2. Lots of benches inside and outside. The Christmas lights around the rink and music made it magical. Great experience. The rink was smaller than I expected, but it wasn't a problem.

Chuck

Saw "Changing Lanes" the other night a Motown group. This venue also hosts other varieties of bands, quintets,etc. The center has the nickname " Salt Lake's Living Room!" Did I mention this great talent is free?

Lawrence M Law

What an awesome place to go ice skating! It looks like so much fun and people are upbeat, happy and there's places to get things to eat and just visit in the outdoors. If that's your thing. I ice skated when I was younger but I just don't do it anymore. Could be fun though for a night out with your love or with family. Thanks Gallivan Center!

a paredes

We rented Gallivan hall for our daughter's wedding! What a beautiful space. The staff were friendly and accommodating! Pricing was perfect! And as an extra plus the Christmas lights were on and ice skating in the background. What a magical experience! Thank you

Samuel Conner

The Gallivan Center is a pretty interesting area of Salt Lake. It says if it was built to be a lot more of a main attraction than it actually was. It's kind of a shame walking through it because it's actually quite beautiful but it's only ever really used for festivals in the summer and the ice rink in the winter. It's not a bad place to park if you're going elsewhere though lol

ryon croston

Took my family to go ice skating on New Years eve. It is such a cool place to go,surrounded by huge tall buildings,out doors, the venue is also super cool to see concerts in the summer. They have ice skates for rent and snacks, hot chocolate. Cool spot.

Mace Bowen

Ice rink? What? You can cross the block diagonally. That's good, I think. And the sundial is usable around noon. Should you need to know local solar time around Noon this is the place to be!

lilly dorsey

Very fun and affordable! Even the concessions were priced reasonably!

Charlene Tschaggeny

Wonderful place with lots of activities! Love the 2nd floor reception area, Gallivan Hal, and ice skating pond. Getting to it and the parking were a bit hard.

summerjamie aspen

The only ice scaring rink I like to go to in the city because it’s out doors and lite up with so many beautiful lights! Such a great location down town as you can go jump on track for free one or two stops and be at the mall and temple square to go see more lights! They play music nice and loud and you can dance while scaring it’s a truly magical experience for the whole family. I’ve been living this place since I was a teen when it first opened. I’d go during school days when there was no one there and they’d play my own cds I wanted to go dance on the ice too! Not sure if they will still do that but that was crazy cool!

Lance Bowman

Top notch facility! A multitude of quality services! Utah Blues Festival was served up on a platter

Sugarcoated Housewife

Had an amazing date night ice skating! The atmosphere was so fun with the music and lights!! The staff was great and very friendly. Definitely recommend trying this out! Perfect for a date or family fun!! We will be taking our kids back during the day to try it out ❤️⛸❄️

Hillary Maas

This was such a fun place! We have only gone to summer events here and always wanted to try out the ice rink! It was our kids first time ice skating and they LOVED it! It was nice to have concessions and hot cocoa that was very affordable! We will definitely be coming back!!

Lauryn B

Awesome outdoor venue for summer concerts. Had a great time!

Julian Miranda

This place is beautiful! The heart of the city and it's got all the shops around it with the mall in walking distance. Great place to take someone on a date if there's an event and everything is within walking distance, definitely recommend hitting up Pretty Bird for your chicken sandwich!

Heather Robinson Teran

It was fun ice skating here. Beautiful atmosphere and music. The skates they rented to my son were missing one of the top notches to tighten the laces and my husband was worried that could be unsafe so we had to switch out the skates for a different pair. Other than that it was a great time.

Joshua Gunn

I love that there is a community area with such fun events! I recently took my wife and kids to one of the live Jazz Band evenings. There was great music and dancing! We ordered Thai food from a nearby restaurant and ate it at one of the tables while we enjoyed live music and then danced afterwards.

Chris Brussow

Best outdoor venue in Utah. Relaxed, well designed and easy to access. Have been coming here since the 90's and they have really taken good care of the plaza. I took my son to his first concert here, Q-tip, when he was about 1 years old. I hope they continue doing more controlled, low cost shows here. Great for the community.

Kristin Henderson

Perfect for a Sunday afternoon with the family. It was a little crowded but not too bad. The rink is set in such a pretty atmosphere in the heart of downtown. My kids had so much fun and the staff was friendly and quick. Parking can be tricky/pricy.

Thea Joy Carr

Went last Sunday with the family and had a ball. Luckily the weather was nice. We went right as it opened and the crowd size was great. Staff was very friendly especially the young gentleman on the ice. He was very sweet to my little boy that slipped and hit his head. We are all excited to go back again.

Mark Nielson

My wife and I attended a swing dancing lesson and then a jazz concert. It was great music and fun dancing. We loved the instructor and had a great time dancing! The venue is all outdoors so we did get rained out but it was fun while it lasted.

Tyler Larsen

Nice, quiet back alley to have lunch or dinner with people you actually want to listen to. Several selections of cuisine. Service is impeccable. No free parking that I'm aware of, but easy walk from downtown offices.

jen funk

Great twilight concert series at the galivan center can't wait to go tomorrow. ..good times!

Sam Kem

This is a very nice place to go to at night around the holidays. My wife and I spent the evening here, and there was plenty to do. We've been during the day (also around the holidays) and the ice skating seems pretty fun. There can be crowds especially on weekends, and riding the public transportation (UTA Trax) is going to be more convenient, especially on weekends.

Melissa Nau

Went ice skating with my family on a Monday night, was kind of crowded but not too bad. My kids had lots of fun even though they are small and still learning. Great place for families to enjoy open air skating!

took my niece and nephew (and sister) ice skating for their first time last night and we all had so much fun! this was my first time ice skating in almost 10 years, and also the first time at an outdoor rink and i can't wait to go back. i loved all the lit up trees, hot chocolate, and music that was playing too :)

yolanda Lewis

Grate place to go ice skating with family and friends!!

Debdas Dhabal

Very nice Christmas decorations. Liked it

Jessica Roberts

Cool place in Salt lake City. We went ice skating and it was super fun. The skating fee was 9.00 for adults they did have skates for kids but no walkers to help them. The rink was a little crowded but not overwhelming. Was a fun date night out.

Shayla F.

First night in salt lake City and we wanted to ice skate. I'm so glad we picked this place. There wasnt a huge crowd on a Thursday night and the price was not expensive whatsoever. The skates were newer. The only thing I would suggest is extra cubby space to put your shoes while you're skating instead of having to buy a locker. Other than that, I had a blast. Loved the lights and they even had ice skating guides to help you learn some new tricks or help you up if you fall. Great time!

Jackson Green

I Went ice skating on the ice rink and it was awesome. You can rent skates on Tuesdays for $5. They close at 9 which is a little early in my opinion. You don't have to wait at all for your skates and. They will happily give you new ones if the initial skates have any issues or are the wrong size. Their is always one employee on the ice who will help you or answer any questions you have.

Miko Da Sinner

One of downtowns reasons to go down town. Safe clean and great for all ages. Often the site for a great midweek concert.

Trent

Walk through here almost every day, and the place is kept up very well! The grass is awesome... pickleball courts... ice skating in the winter time can get pretty packed though. Haven't really dealt with any particular employee there, but all of em that hang around the grounds, seem to be cordial enough.

Kay H

I took my daughter ice skating for the first time. We had such a blast. She loved the lights, music and wanted to stay for hours. The staff was friendly and helpful and its one of my favorite past times. I would highly recommend the Gallivan Center.

Ali Z

In the heart of downtown "literally" the Gallivan center is a nice corner in downtown area, if you take the blue line or green line will stop by Gallivan center Trax station where you can walk anytime during the day because this place is open to the public, don't miss it if you are visiting around Christmas time 😀 …

Patty Low

Great venue for concerts. We were attending the Utah Blues Featival at the Gallivan Center. Parking was easy, parked under the center and take the elevator to street level. Bathrooms are clean and always full of the necessary products. Grass is perfect for sitting and as the sun goes behind the near buildings, the shade hits the grass, cooling off that area. I dont think there is a bad seat in the venue.

Austin Mathews

Definitely worth paying the extra for the VIP area here. Relaxing and a great view.

Blake Brundage

I enjoyed a SOBER New Years Party here called "SpeedBall 2020" and this place was AWESOME. It is absolutely HUGE. It was clean, easily accessible, plenty of restrooms, great parking and welcoming inside the building. Such a fun event. Theres always awesome events happening here. Its a MUST to visit one of them.

Keri Thomas

I thoroughly enjoyed going to the Gallivan Center summer concert series of 2018. I love the ambience! It is intimate with breathtaking views of the evening skies with up close and personal performances from local musicians with occasional guests appearances of other well known musicians. It felt magical most nights!

Tyler Gibbs

Clean and well kept. I've attended weddings and I e skated here sever times. The ice skating is fun although it is a small rink and is usually extremely crowded during high traffic times. The high traffic can be annoying but if you don't mind the cut up ice and crowd of people then the outdoor downtown experience may be worth it to you.

Joshua Flack

Love the free concerts. Excellent quality and family friendly.

Michael Christensen

Open air venue that in the summer hosts smaller concerts, retail shows, art shows and other similar events. During the winter months it is the location of the only downtown ice skating rink. Personally I enjoy the outdoors movie nights in the summer and have been multiple times as they are free of charge and are great for families. Just bring a blanket and snacks. Would be ideal area for a picnic or just a great place to enjoy an afternoon walk. Right by the Trax station and behind the Downtown Marriott.

Sam O'Hickey

Beautiful architecture! Different events all year long, including ice-skating in the winter; excellent restaurants below on the South side, including some bars! A hotel nearby, as well as plenty of places to shop!! The Gallivan Center has been around for quite the while. Can't wait to see what event comes next!

Haley Cross

We love this place!! Ice skating here is so fun because it is the middle of downtown and outside, such a cool experience. They keep up on the ice so it is nice and smooth. And their ice skates are so padded and comfortable!

Nitro71455

Cool place but lots of weed smoking going on. Not sure if it's like that all the time, but to see two different sets of people smoking weed in the bushes in the middle of the afternoon is a bit odd for down town SLC. It's a different crowd for sure. The area should probably be cleaned up a little bit.

Liz Palmer

Since performing in a Choir at the Grand Opening in 1993 to present day events. I have enjoyed attending year round, the wide variety of excellent events for all seasons. With well kept surroundings and beautiful landscaping, state of the art sound stage and casual seating it’s a great outdoor and indoor venue. Music events 🎶 performed each week by local and national artists of every genres makes the Gallivan Center My favorite go to place for festivals, food and drinks with family and friend!!

Kayla Burgess

Would have been great if there was room to actually skate on the rink. There is so much room for a bigger rink I don’t understand why it’s so small

Dawn Marie Garrett

So nice to have a place to hear music and dance downtown

Amanda Edmonds

Such a fun spot to skate! The kids loved being outdoors!!

Pete

This place has a great location in downtown Salt Lake City. In the winter you can do outside ice skating and there are food trucks at lunchtime for those that work downtown. Also in so her they put up lights and the atmosphere is pretty chill and inviting.

Vinh Lu (Vinhgetsin)

Came here in the middle of winter for ice skating and it was magical. The live concert in the back added to the experience. The ice rink was large enough to skate around, though it got really crowded, we still enjoyed our time there. Would definitely recommended going earlier in the day rather than later.

Michelle Ainsworth

The Gallivan Center is a great location for outdoor concerts. It's small enough that only people who are truly interested in the event show up, but open so that you aren't overwhelmed. The grounds and bathrooms are well maintained. It's right next to a Trax station so you don't have to drive if you don't want to.

Shawn Dittman

Gallivan Center has really stepped it up in the last several years. I love this centrally located venue where you can enjoy a free outdoor concert in the summertime, ice skating (they rent skates) in the wintertime and a myriad of other community minded events throughout the year. Good job Gallivan Center!

Sundown Rangel

It was a great day.my daughter got engaged and the plaza was well kept. The only problem was that someone was screaming obscenities on the phone by us and it kept us from fully executing the proposal plans. Still a great day but it was marred a bit. Plaza was great and so looking forward to going back.

Dwain Holmes

My granddaughter just loves this place. It's a good place to take your kids to spend a day they can run around and have fun for at least a good 2 hours

Kara Raynor

I had attended a recovery expo there and I loved it,there was live bands plays and many booths to help people out who were wanting to recover from addictions.

Jenn Simpson

This is great venue for concerts - there's plenty of space and the sound is always great. There are usually some food trucks/food vendors there with good food. The reason for the 3 stars is because the vendors/bands are amazing to experience down there, but whoever is in charge of running the show makes it nearly impossible to enjoy yourself. First of all, gates opened at 5:30 and they also had the 1st band start right at 5:30 so hundreds of people who were lined up around the block missed the first band while they waited in a mile long line to get in the one entrance they had open. If they were going to start the first band right at 5:30, they should have opened the doors earlier. Then once you got inside, after the 1st band was completely done playing, in order to get a beer you had to stand in 3 different lines. One line to get a wristband, another line to buy beer tickets since the beer stands wouldn't take cash, and a 3rd line to actually get your beer. Then, if you got too many beer tickets and didn't drink that many beers, you're out your money and also if you wanted another beer and didn't have a ticket, you go back and wait in line again to get more beer tickets, and then the beer line. There's got to be a better way to do this, it's ridiculous. I don't know that I'll go to another show at the Gallivan Center after this experience. I do like food truck Thursdays and other events they hold there, but if this is how concerts go, I won't be returning for that.

Alex Kleb

Sucks if ur in the rain but great concert hall and very spacy. Make sure to check the weather b4 going and dress accordingly. Loved seeing Vince there, would recommend. Utah's got a good crowd and taste in music.

Devin Black

Great place and cool Venue. I saw Young the Giant. You get to be fairly close to the bands and despite it's appearance, it holds a lot of people. There was a lot of alcohol, which is not my thing but nothing in your face. I would go to another event here.

Jessica Ku

Went to their "Skate with your Sweetheart" event and had a blast! There was a food truck, an awesome DJ, and a candy bar sponsored by Google Fiber. Getting our skates was easy and fast and we were happy there were lockers available ($0.50) to store our shoes and belongings.

ginseng hsu

beautiful lights

DontBugMe -

Went ice skating and their ice was really slippery which was sorta nice but you can create cracks really easily which causes the ice to be very rocky and in a way, dangerous

Zane K

Good place to go for ice skating or to see one of the free concerts

Conner Owen

Love the Summer Festival Series 🎶 Young the Giant …

Jen Seals

Great central city location commonly used for outdoor festivals and concerts. Not too big but usually not too crowded. I wish there was more green space but it functions very well for community events as it is currently designed.

Christopher Takashima

The Twilight Concert series here is incredible. It’s such a great privilege to see big artists perform here for around ten dollars. I’ve seen Vince Staples, Grouplove, and Neon Trees perform here. Be careful as the crowds can be a bit wild, especially at hip hop shows, but you’ll have a great time as long as you’re careful.

Oliver

I love the ambiance of the Gallivan Center. Summer concerts and food trucks, winter Christmas lights. The ice skating is overly expensive and crowded, would not recommend. The restaurants immediately adjacent combined with the urban park make this an ideal Salt Lake destination.

Ruth Abbott

Great place for ice skating in the Winter. Big crowds but they keep their Ice sheet very well groomed. It's in the middle of downtown in the midst of great restaurants so it makes a fun evening.

Kym Mudrow

We had so much fun skating at Gallivan earlier this week! It felt magical and happy just like the holidays. We didn't have to wait for skates and there wasn't too many people there. It was perfect!

Melissa Moaremoff

Its great really peaceful it's a great place to have a leisurely walk skating ice in winter I'm not sure all of the entertainment they have here u would have to look that up.

Doug Himstreet

Incredible night of Beatles tunes. Fun band and dancing and all free. Great schedule of entertainment. Come and check it out.

Hoover Tesla

Great place. It is outdoors so pack heavy during the winter. Coco was premade powder, and they don't re-ice the arena very often; were my only complaints.

E D L C

Gallivan Center was the location my date took me out for Valentine's Day. The staff were young and quite friendly, really helpful and attentive. The ice skating rink was so fun on a semi-sunny day!

kyle rigby

Remi Wolf was tons of fun tonight.

The Secret Of Mana

The ice skating rink at Gallivan Center is such a fun way to spend some time with the people you love. They have really cute decorations and it's a lot of fun. I recommend this place for everyone who wants to find a spot for a good hang. They sell gloves there just in case you forget yours :D

Dennis Moffett

A beautiful part of downtown Salt Lake City. Big Blues festival this weekend. A beautiful venue for this festival.

Camille Smith

Love the Gallivan center. Seems like something wonderful is always happening here. In the winter there is no better place to go ice skating. They have lights on all the trees and music playing. It is impossible to not have a good time. You can get hot coco and stand by the fire if ice skating isn't your activity of choice. In the summer the concerts and festivals are great. Lots of parking on the block surrounding the Gallivan center.

Mario Garcia

It was ok. I was expecting this to be an inside theater. I was hoping to hear an awesome orchestra playing (Utah Symphony), but i wasn't really impressed. I think i enjoyed the Orchestras from Miami Florida, the New World Symphony and the University of Miami. I hope to catch the Utah Symphony indoors sometime, so that i can get a better concert out of them.

john lucas

Love the concert venues at the downtown Gallivan Centerthe always a friendly environment always something going on all year round great place to take the family for fun.

Debra Burrell

You know what you're in for at Cracker Barrel, and this one is the perfect example. Don't be afraid to order the chicken-fried steak, and be sure to get the delicious gravy on the potatoes. Best surprise-my aunt combed the menu and found a low calorie, small meal of a single trout fillet, soup, and a cup of fruit. It can be done!

Rachel Hawkins

Great plaza space with community events. The space houses an ice rink in the winter and hosts concerts in the summer. The nearby restaurants are good, and there is plenty of parking in the two garages. Taking TRAX is also a good choice with the stop just across the street.

Courtney Pruitt

If you’re a local or just visiting SLC, I would absolutely recommend ice skating here!! There is such a fun atmosphere and one thing I LOVE about the Gallivan Center is how it is literally in the middle of the city. It’s such a great place to bring your family and I love how they have great events all year long! Love love love this place!

Sara Jennings

We had a great time. We love that they have skates that come in such small sizes. Even our 2 year old was able to go out and skate. Will definitely be going back!

Stephen Nicholas

This outside venue is perfect all year round There are restaurants and some shopping, an ice rink in winter, and grassy activity area support a wide range of music, and entertainment. My last visit was during the Christmas holidays at night. It was beautiful. Check it out!

Nick Uthe

Went here for Medici Ventures Christmas party and was blown away. The all glass upper level over looking the skating rink during the winter was sublime. If you're looking for a venue downtown SLC – Gallivan Center is the place to be.

Amy Amelia Berge

Ice skating is only $10, and the lights and the Christmas music make it a perfect place to spend an afternoon🎄 …

S. C.

What a nice outdoor venue!!!! Family friendly great vendors huge over sized chess set and beautiful stage. If you see a event here it's sure to be fun.

Derek Damien Darcy

Was here for the Monster Ball in October. we come every few years. Kids love all the activities and seeing everyone in costume. had a good time. well kept, plenty of security to keep it safe, and live music (Not there all the time)

Josie Decker

We loved trying a new activity! It got us in the Christmas spirit with the lights and music. The skating was a bit challenging for our 3 and 5 yr old but it was still fun!

Ashlee Sperry

Great venue to see a concert! Small enough that it feels really intimate but large enough that you don't feel like you're crammed in there like sardine's. I was really close to them despite the awful picture my phone took.

Khushi Shah

Ice skating is amazing over here,nice and big place, like bcz sometimes Indian mela happend here.

Ulziibayar Badamdorj

Beautiful place for family or date

Cindy Howitt Rae

Outdoor Plaza offering Big Band Tuesdays for dancing June through September. Wood floor (although getting a bit sad and worn which makes dancing less than ideal....time to re-do) Thursday night concerts year round. All free through Excellence Concerts. Other events throughout the year and ice skating in the winter.

Jeremy Lott

This is one of my favorite places in downtown Salt Lake. During the summer they do weekly free concerts and also free dancing with lessons. In the winter they set up an ice rink here for skating. The local shops are very friendly

Will Nielsen

Saw Blue October here in concert. This is a great venue. Kind of amazing to be right in downtown Salt Lake City. If you get the opportunity to go to a concert here you should really experience it.

Daniel Hancock

I've only been here for one music event, but it was great! It was a really nice outdoor venue, not too crowded, not too big. It may have been the band that was playing, which was awesome, but I loved my experience here!

Shaleece Downs

We went on a day that had a discount. It was a great place for my 2 year old son. Who loves dinosaurs. And they have a room for toddlers to be in too. And sand box to dig up dinosaur bones!

Matthew Castro

It's a small outdoor rink. It's usually pretty crowded.. Their rental skates are horrible though. I forgot to bring my own pair one day and I regretted it. Theirs were so dull I could barely even enjoy skating that night..

Luke Mitchell

Saw a couple artists perform here and it's always a good time! Good sound quality and lots of places to stand up for 5 hours while you wait for your favorite song to play.

Kat S

I recently got married and I decided to have my wedding reception at Gallivan Center Salt Lake City. I had witnessed one of the best wedding at Gallivan Center Salt Lake City back in March and this was one of the major reasons i decided for that venue. One thing I loved about the place is that the manager was able to help plan pretty much on everything. All of my guests were amazed to watch fantastic decor. I recommended you to go with Gallivan Center Salt Lake City

Connie Pope

I go to the Weekday Workouts which are done Monday thru Thursday. Yoga is Monday & Wednesday while Boot Camp is Tuesday & Thursdays. These classes are free from June to the middle of August and the teachers are from the U of U. The location is on grass under shade. This makes it tolerable with the high temperatures AND the teachers do a great job. And a nice change with doing it outside.

Thomas Gardiner

Enjoy going to the Tuesday night Big Band dances and the Wednesday night concerts during the summer. A great place to come for a fun summer evening!

Todd S

Nice experience skating during the holidays. I love the convenient parking underground with easy access from 200 S.

Christopher Ponton

This is a nice smaller seeing for events. They have free concerts here, at times. I'm the winter they will set up a pseudo ice rink for ice skating. It is located between a Marriott Hotel, a Wells Fargo, and the Channel 2 News buildings.

Clint Savage

Generally an enjoyable location. Nice open spaces, events like Craft Lake City, Thursday Food Trucks, Swing Dancing, or Summer Concerts. In the winter, there's an ice rink which is fun.

Jack O'Lantern

Awrsome space and great view of the stage. Its an outdoor venue which is nice. Good space for multiple vendors and room for food trucks which was a great surprise. Only downside is they didnt have much covering to stave off the rains.

Michael Goodman

Very crowded and no training devises for little kids, but overall a good experience and decent skates

Matthew Petersen

Multipurpose outdoor/indoor venue. Friendly and accommodating staff. Ice skating in the winter, twilight concert series returning summer of 2018. Perfect public space for a mid-day lunch break or evening walk.

Dylan McDonnell

Gallivan center is one of the best venues in the city. Located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, you can hear events going on for blocks. Even if you choose to not attend the events its still fun to walk around the venue and catch the ambiance of whats going on there. Twilight recently came back here after years at pioneer park, and I couldn't be happier.

Andrew Gallaway

Great open place, free events check the website for dates and times. Wheelchair accessible, kid friendly, nice area.

Brandy and Davith Estrada

Family skate night was a big hit. There was ice skating, hot cocoa, food. Lights for the season. Would be a great date night. I will recommend to anyone who will listen.

Craig Mitchell

Gallivan Center has a pretty awesome ice rink. It is always crowded so b prepared but it is FUN!!

Rust Humphrey

ice skating this time of the year. This is where it's at!

Emily Sutton

Not only does this plaza have historical history from the 2002 winter Olympics it has hosted some pretty famous musicians. Adele, Snoop, and many others! Fairs and festivals for all different events, Disney Days, Urban Festival are a couple examples. During the winter months it offers ice skating under twinkly lights. Thursdays is food truck day.

Laci Maughan

I took my fiancé to the Gallivan Center to go ice skating for his first time ever and it was an awesome experience. The DJ there played good music, the environment was upbeat, and the ice clean up was quick and prompt. I have been to the Gallivan Center a lot when I was growing up, and I've never had a bad experience! I would highly recommend Gallivan Center to anyone looking for a fun day or night out!

Vince Grimm

I love the Thursday food trucks. I look forward to trying a new food every week. Great set up and plenty of space if you choose to stay and eat.

David Crosby

Nice place to go ice skating in the winter or catch a fair or concert in the summer.

Kylie Dunkley

I was really impressed with the care of the rink but dropped a star because the person before us left GUM in the ice skate.. that was a pleasant surprise for my husband upon taking off the shoe.. how were we to know it was in there.. that isn't Gallivan's fault per se but it was a displeasing occurrence. Other than that, the rink was fun and well kept.

Jayakanth Vasudevan

Enjoyed the ice rink. Lightings were fantastic.

Kati Burgess

Charming location in the heart of downtown; lights and ice skating are so fun. Look for coupons, but still a great family activity at full price. Bring a lock for lockers... Loved it!

Sequoia Hall

We stopped in Salt Lake City in our way to Colorado and stumbled into w wonderful free concert here.

Joe Wong

Food should have been great. Breakfast was bland and over cooked.

Shelby Moad

The ice rink at the Gallivan Center is really great! It's so fun to have an outdoor ice rink to skate on. It can get busy, but we still had a great time!

b blackberry

Great area. So many places to visit even though I was lost. Had my coffee in a little coffee shop around corner. So many places to eat in areas around Gallivan Center. Getting lost was so much better with my coffee fix.

Dallas Farish

Many great evenings here in my youth, it does'nt seem to offer many evenings like I remember however still one of the few spots downtown to enjoy live music and of course ice skating in winter.

k kai'a pfeiffer

Fun outdoor venue for festivals, concerts ...and food trucks with live music.

Cathryn Haubner

My husband and I went to a concert (Young the Giant) here, the staff was friendly, and the concert was amazing! There was a big line to get in, but the staff moved the line along very quickly, and we didn't wait very long to get in.

Logan Flynn

Great place for events and concerts!

daniel evans

Centrally located in downtown Salt Lake, the Gallivan Center has three main features. An outdoor concert venue, where the Twilight Concert Series was originally held, an rentable indoor event venue, and during the winter an ice skating rink. With an adjacent hotel and close proximity to many of Salt Lake's best restaurants it's a great place for corporate events or a weekend getaway with friends or family

Zane Bouck

The events are second to none for experience culture and nearly always includes free admission.

Angela Hirshout

We loved it! I took my child and the rental was easy to get. It was A bit crowded and when we went back to the concessions stand all the pretzels we're gone. He was bummed.

Linda Bernini

Went to the Urban Art Festival at Gallivan. It was enjoyable with good entertainment and several food trucks with delicious food. It is a wonderful venue. The craft Lake City festival was here, too. More vendors at Craft Lake City. These are both annual festivals at Gallivan.

Heidi Finley

Such a fun, family friendly Winter activity!

Lisa Porter

Excellence in the Arts presents free concerts at Gallivan year round. Inside in the winter, outside in the summer. Beautiful setting and facilities. We enjoy it so much.

Ebony Fayne

I went to a free concert down there and It was pretty fun. The stage was nice, the music volume was perfect and I had a good time. The only thing I would change is increasing the amount of vendors. There were only a few and I would of like to had seen more:)

Jordan Daynes

Pretty expensive and crowded. Fun if it’s over 30 degrees, no wind, and if you bring your own skates. Their skates are pretty dull and uncomfortable.

Brianna Martinez

Had tons of fun ice skating with my son and boyfriend. The Christmas decorations were beautiful and the prices were fair. Really enjoyed the experience!

Joshua Terry

Went ice skating here, very fun ambience plays music from the twenties and thirties. Made it a very fun place to skate great for a date. Skate rentals are reasonable and hot coco is cheap.

Jennifer Spradling

Went for the free Halloween Monster Block Party. It was well organized. Had booths for kids to trick or treat at, kid's craft tables, 🎃 drop from a tall🔥truck ladder, & food 🚚s. …

Melissa Steagall

Big band night was awesome. The dance instruction was really fun. BYU Synthesis did a great job of playing fun big band tunes. The vocalist Beth Campbell was especially amazing as was the trombone soloist Nate Campbell.

Jason Jordan

Gallivants does a fun ice skating rink in the winter with lights and music. There are some new restaurants here now which are good and food trucks on Thursdays at 11am.

Sheri Blackburn

Its a great place for events, but the parking options are not great! We parked in a small private lot and the attendant was gone when we back...we had to break ourselves out of parking lot jail to leave 😆 So the lesson in the story could be Go to the big lot or go home... 😂 …

Serdik Craig

Really nice ice skating and a clean area. It was a lot of fun for a great price

Samuel Arriola

Great moderated size venue. Plenty of space to watch the show on the stage. Could use another set of restrooms, but it is greater place then when I was younger.

Scott Fisher

This spot has really become a great place to spend time at. There are several really great restaurants and shops adjacent to the park area. Great to grab some food and relax on a bench in the sun and people watch!

Frank Mansuetto

It's the Gallivan Center. It's a big open area smack dab in the middle of Salt Lake. There's just recently new restaurants and bars that are worth visiting here. During the winter there's an ice rink. And during the summer, tons of events from concerts, food festivals, Salt Lake Artis Festival, Gay Pride Festival. Most things that are happening, if you don't know where they take place. you can probably park near here and you'll find it's popping off at the Gallivan Center. It's right off of Main Street so you can easily take Trax to and from here, and right outside of Gallivan is a huge selection of restaurants and bars. I think this can be considered the epicenter of Salt Lake for the non-Temple going crowd.

Gabrielle Missy Geroe Zimmerman

Great location for a food truck party for 500 people. Plenty of room, sun and shade. Had fun.

Vance Norton

Had a great time in the city, went ti the jazz game and they won, we ate like Kings and Queens and the rooms were fantastic. It was a trip to remember with great friends and co-workers.

Jose Jelsma

I attended a party in their event space. It was a great place for this type of function.

Jamie Koonce

We have so much fun at the concerts they do here. We've seen Blue October and the Ying Yang Twins. Had an absolute blast. The crowds are always alot of fun.

Mike Christensen

A great place when events are going, but it's a ghost town otherwise, since no retail or restaurants front Gallivan Center. I can't understand why Salt Lake City doesn't understand the importance of activating public spaces.

Kirstin Johnson

Love ice skating here. It's pretty easy to find nearby parking, the rink is really nice, and they have the best rental skates around+ they actually feel like they get sharpened.

Kimball Hall

Went on a Sunday afternoon for Craft Lake City. Booths were well laid out, and even nice seating in the shade. I have never been for any of their indoor events.

Allisson Gera

I’ve only gone ice skating here and I’m not sure what else it’s uses are LOL but skating here is so fun! My husband and I go every so winter and it’s cheap! A great thing to do to kill time or just laugh till it hurts :) super pretty at night too!!!

Jake Berlin

The Gallivan Center is a nice place all year long, but I'd give it a five star review during Christmas time. The lights are beautiful, and the mood is very festive.

Cecilia Haedo

Great place to go ice skating! Family friendly. We were able to rent our skates preety fast. Bring quarters if you want to put shoes in a locker

Jesse Pierce

Really fun! A little crowded, employees were great and on top of things though! The lighting at times got people dizzy but overall it was a freezing great experience!

Scott Kingsbury

So many great events here. I saw the USA play Argentina in the World Cup soccer match. Utah Blues Festival. And the food trucks on Thursday are awesome!

Jules Ellis

On weekend nights it is usually pretty crowded, but the lights the music all make up for it. Usually they have fires and standing heaters around to keep you warm if you don't want to skate or if you are taking a break. They sell hot coco, pretzels, and other snacks, and even sometimes there is a pizza truck next to the rink you can order freshly baked pizza from. If you are staying at the Marriott it is in the prime location! That is usually what we do, I take a family trip, everyone stays at the Marriott, we go skating at the gallivan center, see the lights on Temple Square, and stop for some Starbucks on our way back to the hotel where we can go soak in the hot tub, play cards, and you have a great view of the gallivan center right out the window! Anyways, the gallivan center is so much fun! And it is right by alot of things you could do to make it a whole day or just a fun evening.

Gary Mackelprang

What a great venue for community events. Since its inception, The Gallivan Center has been about bringing people together. Concerts, dances, shows, expositions and gatherings bring neighbors together and make Salt Lake City a better place to live. Thanks, Gallivan Center!

Alexander Fellman

It's a nice park, I guess? I'm not sure why Google is pressing me to review it. There's a Trax station nearby, one of two at the City Creek and Downtown development.

Chris Ballam

One of our favorite places to take the family ice skating in the winter. We also enjoy the farmers market and concerts in the winter. Our favorite is when the Caleb Chapman band comes to do a concert or two in the summer.

Alan Kendall

Fun atmosphere at a reasonable price. My whole family had a wonderful time. The only downside is that A LOT of people agree. It got very crowded on the ice.

Jamie FitzSimmons

Took the family here for a little winter fun!! We had a blast!! Great staff very friendly! They Evan have hats and gloves so don’t worry if you forget yours

Mary Crafts

Great event space with lots of underground parking. I love all the glass windows which makes for beautiful sights weather during the day or the evening, Winter or summer!

K M

You enter the underground parking facility blocks away and come above ground by the Gallivan center or by walking back through the cars. It can be very difficult to find your place again. I was lucky enough to find my place with relative ease but that was all by chance. Not because it was clearing marked.

Julia Moore

I loved ice skating at the Gallivan Center! The skates fit just right and the music was super enjoyable to listen and skate to! Also, it's perfect for a fun date night.

Johnny Stone

It's been made nice, and feels good to have a nice community place where people can gather and have events.

Chad Luke

No parking, but as an outdoor venue it is really really fun. The real buildings are a great backdrop and have surprisingly good acoustics (makes a great artificial amphitheater).

Chris Dwight

Fun, free place to go and hang out. Right in the middle of the downtown you can springboard from there in any direction to a downtown locale. And in the summer, you can enjoy a free splash pad.

Charmaine Gallenson

I went there for an outdoor concert it was music of the 40s thoroughly enjoyed also liked it because it was so clean and you felt so safe being outdoors I suggest the gallivan center for any kind of an event very well protected to enjoy with your families

Brittany Maxfield

We had a lot of fun ice skating with our family. It was easy to get skates, there were plenty of benches to sit on and when we had to get off the ice for the zamboni to smooth the ice, it was fun to watch.

John Coconis

Great spot to stop and watch concerts, eat lunch, or just lay out. I've never been told to leave by security and I look like a wook. They have many activities during the summer. Keep posted on their calendar for events, if they'd update it.

Jordan Bradley

Gallivan Center is excellent. They are always having interesting events and concerts and even turn it into an ice skating rink in the winter. It has been a favorite of mine for many, many years.

Ashton Grogg

The jazz concert I went to was amazing. The band was called the salt lake city 7 and the vib was so nice. 100 out of 5 stars. Love it.

Lis Arevalo

Had a great time here with my friends, it wasn't cold eventhough it was outside, the skates were in really good shape and the zamboni left the ice supersmooth and the staff was quick.

William Thomas

I had a great time skating here with my wife on a date. It can be really crowded because the rink isn’t that big but it’s still a good time.

Brandon K

Great venue for shows always easy to get beer. Restrooms are always insanely packed during shows. Never had any problems at this venue. Sound is great.

Spencer Messersmith

X Ambassadors put on an amazing concert.

Aiko

Place is always packed when I visit, other than that it's a great place to have fun with family and friends. No matter how much skill one may have skating, it will certainly be a blast!

Robert Burya (trylor)

Food Truck Thursday is a must for lunch. So many good options. Also a great place during the summer for local bands to play. They have ice skating in the winter

Dan

Attended a concert here ... it was set up nicely with food trucks and beer stands and the venue and show where excellent

Mike Pettingill

Fun place to visit. No one was visible when I visited so it felt like a ghost town left over from the 2002 olympics. Still a fun venue.

Jacqlynne Moore

We had such a great experience ice skating! Staff are great. I was so happy they had toddler size skates. Can’t wait to go again!

Christie Cook

Nice ice skating rink. Conveniently located with parking for a fee.

Zahira Thillet

Really ice skating and beautiful decorated

Pamela Myles

It's a good place to go on a Tuesday or Thursday, and it's free and it's a lot of fun even ice skating in winter time or you can just sit and enjoy the music and you can ballroom dance and a lot more I never been down there when they had valet dancer it was nice a silent after a hard day of work go check it out great fun.

Adam Skousen

We go to the Gallivan Center for a special event (St. Patrick's Day Parade and Siamsa) every year. It has a nice parking structure that is central to a lot of activities and eating establishments downtown.

Alex Miller

Been to concerts here and been ice-skating. It's been a great venue and the ice skating was great it can get pretty crowded and the rink isn't that big but it's still over all pretty great

Carlton Christensen

Great urban experience for anyone wanting to experience some of the best of SLC. Whether you ice skate, listen to a concert or just go on Thursdays for the Food Truck lunches, Gallivan Center has it all.

Cooper Gale

Decent venue but seemed a little small. Would like to come here again for a bigger concert and see how different the crowd is. Fun joint in the middle of SLC, though.

Scott Tarbet

Great public events, lovely venue. Wonderful staff.

Lucas Wilson

The small space made the crowd seem even worse. There were two outdoor heaters that gave almost no heat. It was quite clean and the staff were quick.

Jesse Torres (DreDPooL13)

A medium sized place for A-1 concerts, quite possibly the Best Concert Experience you will get, it is up close and personal with your artist and the sound in that Alcove reverb's perfectly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marci Nicol

We had a great time ice skating today at the Gallivan Center Ice Rink. It was not very crowded and the staff was great. My girls loved doing it and we will definitely be back!

Mark Jones

The Gallivan Center is an incredible place. What a wonderful contribution to the downtown SLC community. Everyone should read about the man whose name this park bares, John W. Gallivan.

David Reichdan

A excellent place for outdoor events. Went here for the Brazilian festival a couple years back and it was packed! Nevertheless, everything was well organized and the space is well designed to fit the amount of people.

DeAnn Clinger

So many great and unique Restraunt's here. I came to a reception here too. It was amazing. The parking is a bit confusing but I'm sure it gets easier with each visit.

Michael Steadman

We went to a concert there and have a great time. There was food and drink and the venue is multi leveled so it was much easier To find a good vantage point to watch the concert.

Lisa S.

Love hitting local festivals, free movie nights in the summer, food trucks and winter ice skating at the Gallivan. Always a good spot to experience Salt Lake City's community events.

Michael Landro

Unfortunately during this pandemic you cannot go ice skating but when it is available to everyone period it is the best salt lake skating experience in the winter.

Rachael Brown

Omg the food was amazing their drinks were delicious! Service was slow.but it was packed!

Michael McCoy

Nice fun place to get out and ice skate...the only downside is how popular it is...the rink was pretty crowded but we still had a good time.

kaleb wilbur

The Gallivan Center regularly hosts excellent seasonal events, ice skating in the winter and does great collaborating with the food truck industry. Should I require a venue this will be on a short list

J Scott Barnard

great place for outdoor concerts and events. in the winter they have ice skating and some other outdoor events the biggest is the new years event that is alcohol free and fun.

Skyler Fleming

Great little space. Went on a weekday and they let us park for free. They didn’t ask for payment when we left.

Abigail Brooks

Very small ice rink and the figure skates are alot more like hockey skates. My friend was charged $9 even though she brought her own skates. Seems a little ridiculous.

SF Beal

This has been more and less fun for ice skating. The last time we went it was so busy there was no room to move on the ice. Just wish we had made that observation when we got there and made plans to go back at a less busy time.

Will May

Bolt Cutters restaurant at the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake City is an excellent vegan taco and burrito restaurant! Probably the best vegan al pastor and baja tacos I have ever had and 100% Vegan!! South East area of The Gallivan Center just off of state street Approx 250 South.

Kristina Flores

Downtown Yoga Festival is always a great choice!!

Mark Greer

Salt Lake sure has the venues.. now it just wasn't filled mostly with schlocky crappy art booths.. only one artist in 10 there has a chance of getting my attention... I'd prefer to see practical items for sale then somebody's pain or ego mysticism on display..

Jenny

This is a great little open-air plaza surrounded with some incredible eats panda little entertainment. It's a very pleasant place especially if you're walking

Johan baker Gibb

How to visit an office in the complex underground parking was great and the parking attendant remembered me from years ago

David To

Beautiful venue for ice skating, but overcrowded and difficult to navigate for some. The variety of skill levels can ruin your experience for both beginners and experts.

Jane Durham

The new rink is so much better! Prettier and more festive. We had a great time! Also love that the parking is more convenient now!

Rachel Rhatigan

This is a nice outdoor venue that draws great events and a good audience. I've seen Joe Walsh, Train, and the Utah Blues Festival here and had a great time.

Trevor Hooper

Excellent wedding venue with awesome views of the city. Also a great open space for lunch. Be sure to check their events calendar to see what's happening!

William Garfield

Such a fun Vibe. 15 bucks Steve Aoki!!!

Wade Miles

Security at Galvin center is exceptional when I was living on the sidewalk for 4 years in a row until 2014 security made sure nobody no homeless people slept anywhere near gallivan center but because security new I was a damn good person unusual they would take me to a spot on the gallivan center property and say go ahead and lay down here for an hour and then I'm going to come over and wake you up and have you moved to a different spot. 75% of humans that walk on Galvin center property usually have their noses pointed in the air those are the type of people I selling homeless person enjoy interacting with those with nose in the air.

Blaine Merkley

Skating ice rink during the winter seasons...... concert's ......Downtown annual events for the arts and food events........during these hot days their is a water shower out doors to refresh your self.....!

Jocelyn Chappell

Fun festive ice skating

Hector Williams

Love the lights that are up right now, one day I'll be brave enough to skate round that thang?!

Stacey Garcia

Nice room upstairs for a private event. Windows all around, nice view!

Shannon Fox

My group performs at this venue every year for St Patrick's day. The space behind the stage is grossly inadequate and their security does nothing to keep the public out of our dressing areas. Very disorganized and chaotic.

Jeffery Twitchell

It's Okay, but it needs better plumbing.

COSMIC PSYOPS

Great family weekend night activities if you're finished self-isolating and in need of a sense of normalcy and some PG-humor.

Rick Thomas

Fun place

Ryan Dixon

Ice skating here is a guaranteed good time. They also have summer movies if you're interested in that. Great for children ages 1-101.

Jared Richardson

Went to the centre for a concert. Was pleased with the set up and plenty of room to stretch out and wander. Placement across from the train station is a huge benefit.

Jessica Tait

We have a blast going ice skating at the Gallivan Center every year! Loved going at night but if you go during the day, it’s less crowded!

Peter Gonzalez

Free events at times. Affordable Ice Skating rink during winter. 2 News is right there. One of my favorite places in the City!

Leslee Rojas

We went here for ice skating. SO MUCH FUN!! Beautiful area to go and have fun with the kids or a date night. We'll definitely be back.

We always skate here as a family around Christmas, always a great experience. Usually busy. Better to go during the week.

Dennis Fay

There for the St. Patrick's day celebration and our it was a blast.

Robert Q Nielson

A great public plaza with some fun activities at various times throughout the year.

Emily Bagley

A great place to enjoy lunch or a concert during the summer. Ice skating is a blast in the winter. Parking is a little pricey though.

Angie P

Came here to go ice skating. Super cheap rentals and lots of fun. The hot chocolate here is great! $9 for rentals and to skate.

During the winter there is an ice skating rink and in the summer there are pickleball and basketball courts. Great place to take the family to walk around or to enjoy the activities with a date.

Great ice skating rink. So much fun. So many friendly people there. The staff is very helpful and honest

Love the location! It so pretty nestled into downtown Salt Lake City. Good quality skates. Friendly staff!

Edgar Chavez

Great events center.

I love the Gallivan Center. They have so many FREE cultural and music events. It's wonderful to go dancing with live music.

bella onetto

We had an awesome time ice skating , as expected a little cold so we went prepared, however our 3 yo didn't enjoy it as much as our 5yo who didn't want to leave the place

Heather Marie

This is an amazing spot in central downtown Salt Lake city. It's small, but a lot of activities happen here. Concerts, Art festivals, etc.

Great place for a family night. Concession stand is decent, just wish they had played coffee as well as the mixed lattes.

I always park at City Creek center, 2h free, and walk or Trax one stop for free fare. Kids like there as well. There are lots of restrooms.

Rylexori Aeonoptryx

The Gallivan center is a great community place to see concerts during the summer season or to go ice skating during the winter season my favorite part os walking through the hanging garden with a hallway of water dripping

Porter Lyman

They have free concerts on Thursday nights with varying quality (some are great, some bore your socks off). Fun place though!

Furkan Cimen

At the center of downtown between towers a small park and a stage. Perfect for open air concerts, performances and theaters. Easy to commute with train.

Carol Jacobsen

This is a beautiful and fun place for the family.

Blake Harris

Pretty cool place. Would rate 5 stars if they would keep the ice skating open till June at least.

Matthew Argyle

Love this place! The water fountains and grass and views and accessiblity. One of my favorite urban parks in salt lake to spend a little time at.

Jessie Hooper

Great prices, only $9 (including the skates!!) for adults, cheaper for kids. Friendly staff and not too packed with people.

Hannah Jacobson

Somewhat busy, but still fun. Skating and food are a reasonable price. And very close to City Creek which is very convenient.

Andy Olsen

good events center and winter ice skating park. location in the city is nice. concert lineup looked pretty decent.

Fun spot with some cool artwork and fun shops and restaurants.
